Page 6 The Daily Nebraskan FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1966 IDCC Constitution Revision Faces Apportioning Question By John Fryan Although its first constitu tional effort was rejected by a majority of the dormi tories, the interdor.n coor dinating committee (IDCC) is amending and revising in the hopes of presenting a new document to the voters next semester. Substantial changes have already been inserted, but the major questions of ap portionment of representa tives and method of ratifi cation still face the committee-After several dormitories considered the concept of an inter-dorm council last year, the existing ones met and began drafting a con stitution in March. Beginning in September, the representatives started revising and approving the final document article-by-article, section-by-section. Residences represented in cluded Abel, Selleck, Wom en's Residence Halls, Cath er, Pound, Burr East, Burr West, Fedde, Love Memori al and eventually Sandoz. The constitution resulting IDCC Revision Takes Control Of Court From Vice President In revising the proposed Interdorm Associa tion (IDA) constitution, the Interdorm Coordinating Committee has been sepa rating the branches of the IDA government. Wednes day the IDCC modified the judicial system. An amendment proposed by Dave Shonka of Abel Hall removed control of the interdormitory court from the vice president. Former ly the vice president was to have been the chief jus tice. The IDCC acted to b a r executive officers and coun cil representatives from serving among the seven justices. This defined the court as a separate branch of the IDA government, but the question of selection of justices was not fully set tled. Larry Anderson of S e 1 leck Quadrangle substituted for chairman Jim Ludwig as the IDCC passed a mo tion to require that a 1 1 amendments now in mind be submitted to secretary Joan Spivy before the Jan. 4 meeting. The general dis cussion on this motion cen tered around the need to speed up the revision pro cess. Through other motions, president, secre treasurer were the vice tary and 1 1 l NOTICE r) t Get your guy's gifts at Lincoln's unique college men's shop.

Name Potition Desired Address was approved unanimously by the representatives and was sent to the dormitories for consideration and vote by the residents. The resulting discussion, conducted at some points by an "Ad Hoc" commit tee to defeat the consitution, argued both for and against such items as non-voting membership, the retire ments of financial assess ment and the method of ap proval of the organization and constitution. The constitution was de feated six to four by t h e dorms, and the committee began the task anew, con sidering the objections of the opponents. While some of these ob jections liave not yet been met in the section-by-section revision, several changes have already been made. The name has been from Interdorm Council to Interdormitory Associa tion (IDA). The non-membership clause has been struck out to imply that if this constitution passes the given additional duties. The vice president is to serve as adviser and coordinator for all committees. The sec retary is now required to keep a record of all mo tions of lasting importance, and the treasurer will keep a check on property of the IDA. An amendment by Wayne Morton of Abel Hall to pro vide the vice president with a vote in case of a tie was defeated. Morton argued that the president already had the veto and adding the tie vote power to his rights would give him too strong a position. Opponents pointed out that traditionally, the president of an organization reserves this right. The representatives had already somewhat es tablished the separation of let's go to McDonald's Filet-O'-Fish A real adventure in good eatin'! look for tto Goldtn Archtt 1M McDonald's 865 No. 27th St. 5305 "0" St. i n residents, a 1 1 dormitories and all residents will be members. The offices of president and vice president are now elective from the dormitory residents instead of indi viduals being voted in by the council. Secretary and treasurer have become ap pointive administrative per sonnel. The judicial system is now separate from the oth er branches, with the inter dorm court's membership barred to executive officers or representatives on t h e council. Whether the IDA shall re main a representative body of the dormitories or turn to sectional apportionment crossing dorm lines is the next section of IDCC con sideration. Proponents for the o 1 d system argue that crossing dorm lines would destroy the effectiveness of the council as a coordinating body between the dorm gov ernments. They state that the original idea of an IDC was based upon maintain- IDA governmental branches last week by providing for the election of the president and vice president by a 1 1 dormitory residents rather than by the council itself. Anderson noted that room and board rate increases had already been announced for next year, urging the representatives to move fast er so that an IDA will be in operation to make rec ommendations on such mat ters. John Fryar of Cather Hall noted that W o m e n's Residence Halls were n o t represented at the meeting and had not been for sever al weeks. Fryar recom mended that the chairman find the reason for t h i s, since WRH had rejected the original constitution and has not sent anyone to help with revisions.

On the other hand, pro posals are being made to effect a council apportioned according to the total dorm itory population. Propon ents for this system say that this would provide for a more direct representa tion of the dormitory resi dents by guaranteeing each dorm one delegate and di viding up the remainder IDCC chairman Jim Lud wig has stated that he hopes for a new constitution ready for presentation to the resi dents early in the second semester.

Such a group would now represent 4,200 stu dents, over one-fourth of the total University enrollment. Ideas discussed both last year and this would give the IDA the position to in vestigate and make recom mendations as a represen tative body concerning stu dent assistant selection, room ana Doara rates, ine construction of new dorms, and the implications of Uni versity policy on dormitory living. In addition, an IDA would probably plan and coordin ate social, scholastic, rec reational and cultural acti vities. The Church Directory First Baptist Charrh of Lincoln.
